thats my point...its not the FLIPPING that bothers me...its that i watched nick spend like 15 minutes on this drawing, thinking it was for a fan....and that it will be sold for a grip of cash, and nick wont see a dime....lame.

I agree with others on this thread, I do not like seeing this sort of thing but whilst people are willing to buy it there will people willing to do it.

The way you stop it is by not getting involved i.e. do not buy it. I am lucky enough to have a couple of personalized items from Nick, I cherish them, have never posted pictures of them on here and would only sell them after the rest had gone. But that is just me!!!

As is the way of the law of the sod.

Where money is involved there will allways exist greed and scum

Nick was really cool to do this for us at the show and I hope this doesn't turn him away from doing it for fans in the future.

I guess it just comes with the territory though. The fact that this is selling for about twice the cost of the TMA Hollywood print and half the cost of some originals for sale there at the show says it all. Where there is money to be made, people will make it and no matter how much we like or dislike it, that's always going to be the case.

My signed poster actually got a little banged up in transit back from the show, which is depressing, but is sitting safely in my portfolio nonetheless.

Ok, so it went for more than twice the cost of the print. That's just crazy.

Yikes! Ruben Garay better hope Carmichael Gallery doesn't frown upon flipping!
